Actually Rice doesn't have to go through confirmation hearings for this position. It's a direct appointment. Samantha Power on the other hand WILL have to (hopefully) be called upon to explain her very anti-Israel opinions.

Rice being appointed NSA defends Obama's flank. She'll be called to testify on Benghazi and will spout the WH talking points and give the President top cover from what he did wrong.

If she ever testifies on Benghazi, she will just dig herself in deeper. She is clueless, and it will show.

Show of hands: who here feels more secure with a lying stooge acting as the national security adviser?

Does she even have any qualifications for this post?

This administration doesn't reward competence or excellence (it wouldn't know either if it held an umbrella over the President in the rain), but it does reward its lickspittle lackeys, at least until they become liabilities.

Only if they stay in character. Most Hollywood actors are just as liberal and ignorant as politicians, but their characters would be much more interesting. Henry Winkler wouldn't make a great UN ambassador, but the Fonz would all kinds of fun. Danny DeVito is a huge lib, but Louie DePalma from Taxi would be the scariest SECDEF ever. Christopher Lloyd's Jim Ignatowski would be a very funny president, but it would be a bit of a stretch to have someone who smoked that much dope in college in the White House... Oh, wait. Nevermind.
